Enchiladas con Huevos

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Eggs that had been boiled for a deviling that never happened were the inspiration for these unusual enchiladas. The dish, which appeared in Country Woman magazine a decade ago, was originally meant for a company breakfast or brunch. Years ago, I made it at Easter time and I still make it for a light family supper when I have a surfeit of eggs that must be dealt with. The enchiladas are very easy to make and while they'll never be on anyone's final meal request, they are enjoyable and pleasant enough to eat. While the recipe calls for corn tortillas, the flour variety also works well here. I'm sure you know that corn tortillas can be softened for rolling by wrapping them in damp paper towels and "nuking" them on HIGH power for about 30 seconds. I suspect you already have the ingredients to make these in your refrigerator and pantry. If you have no taco sauce an excellent recipe for the famous Taco Bell sauce can be found here. If you start preparation of this dish with eggs that are already hard boiled you can have these enchiladas on the table in about 30 minutes. If you need directions for making perfect hard boiled eggs you can find them here, but the time required to boil them must be factored into your preparation time. This is a nice dish for busy days. Here's the recipe.

Living in Texas, I've eaten all kinds of enchiladas but I can honestly say I've never seen any made from boiled eggs! I'm excited to give this new version a try! Thank you for the little surprise, Mary. blessings ~ tanna

I can't tell you how much I've been craving Mexican flavors since coming to Australia. :-) They just don't have them as part of their culture or immigrant culture. Sadness. :-) So you cheered me tremendously just by posting this Tex-Mex style dish today. :-)

I love when dishes morph into something entirely different than what you had intended. I will admit I don't have many creative uses for hard boiled eggs so this sounds incredibly unique and handy to me.
